Yes, we will be having a time of worship on Sunday, Christmas morning.

We’ll gather at the regular time, 10:30 am, and sing, share communion and celebrate Jesus’ birth!

If you would like, wear something you got for Christmas, or bring a favorite gift to show others (just one please, don’t load up the whole car…)- we’re going to have a “show and tell” Christmas morning!

God bless you this Christmas!

to join us for Christmas Eve!

Gather at 7:00 for our Candlelight Service- and bring a friend!

We will be blessed by some of our children singing during our Christmas Eve service this year- they are practicing during their class time on Sunday morning- so if you’d like to have your child join the fun of singing- come on out this Sunday. If you can’t make that, there are CDs available for them to learn the songs. If you have any other questions, please contact the church office.

Just a reminder, our Christmas Eve service is at 7:00 pm- we hope you can join us!

Don’t forget we collecting coats for Star of Hope Ministries down in Paterson. If you have a gently worn coat that you would like to donate, there are boxes available on the porch of the old parsonage (right next to the sanctuary building) and in the sanctuary. Bring them in soon, we’ll be getting them down to Paterson in the next couple weeks.

Don’t forget to come at 10 am to Fellowship Hall for our special December Breaking Bread Sunday!

Some of the men of Echo Lake are cooking- so it’s sure to be a treat!

Please mark your calendars now and plan on joining together to celebrate Christ’s birth!

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service

7:00 pm

Bring some family and friends!

We will be joining here at Echo Lake to share what we are thankful for- and I really can’t encourage you too much to join us.

Parents, it’s a great way to train up your children to teach them to express their thankfulness to God- and it’ll be wonderful for you to lead them by being thankful.

Preparations for the turkey can wait- let’s get together to thank God.

Wednesday evening, November 23 at 7:00 pm.

Here’s an update for you: last week we said that over 75 boxes were being shipped to children all around the world for Operation Christmas Child.

We were wrong. Sorry.

There are actually over 90 boxes!

Thanks to all who helped with this mission, let’s be praying for each child who will receive one of these boxes. As reported last week, we’ll be tracking over 50 boxes, so we’ll let you know where they wind up.

Thank you to all who helped with our Operation Christmas Child mission- we have assembled and gathered about 75 boxes that will be shipped around the world to children to bring them some joy this season. Special thanks to the children and families from VBS 2011 who donated many of the wonderful gifts!

We will be tracking the shipment of 50 of these boxes, so we’ll know where they wind up. Keep an eye open for updates as we find out more information.

Please join us for worship tomorrow as we will be praying for the children who will be receiving these in the coming weeks.

So write it down now so you won’t forget…

Don’t forget to set your clocks back Saturday night…

Don’t forget to come to worship at 10 am for Breaking Bread Sunday…

Don’t forget to bring your Box of Love this Sunday…

Don’t forget we’ll be putting our Operation Christmas Child boxes together after church…

We hope to see you this Sunday- it’s going to be a great morning together!
